Report: Roger Goodell's Going To Stick It To Jerry Jones With Some Vague Fine
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’s reported bitching and moaning about Roger Goodell’s actions over the last season has earned him a dose of NFL justice, which is regular justice that comes with an even more hollow feeling. Ken Belson of the New York Times reports the NFL commissioner will fine Jone...
Chipper Jones Says There's No Reason For Civilians To Have AR-15s
Chipper Jones loves guns. Loves ‘em. He says he’s got five, including a shotgun and a rifle. (Though he says he prefers hunting with a bow because “it’s safer and more sporty.”) But even Jones says regular American civilians have no business being able to own assault weapons, like the AR-15 used to ...

Hafþór Björnsson<em></em> Deadlifted 1,000 Pounds While His Rowdy Pals Went Wild
When we last checked in with strong man and Game of Thrones star Hafþór Björnsson, he was bent out of shape about possibly being screwed out of the World’s Strongest Man title. That loss only seems to have fueled his quest to become even larger and more powerful, because now he can deadlift 1,000 po...
Watch The Four Newest Baseball Hall Of Famers Get The Call
As worked up as we all were for the results of Baseball Hall of Fame voting, I suppose the players who got in were probably even more excited. As is tradition, cameras were rolling when Chipper Jones, Vladimir Guerrero, Jim Thome, and Trevor Hoffman received the phone calls letting them know they’ve...
Barry Bonds And Roger Clemens Not Elected To Baseball Hall Of Fame
For the sixth year in a row, baseball’s home run king and a seven-time Cy Young winner have both been refused entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Deion Sanders Denies Shelving Florida Recruits At All-America Game Due To FSU Bias
Deion Sanders serves as one of the coaches at an annual high school football All-America game, though it seems that not all of his players were pleased with the (mostly ceremonial) job he did. Dual-threat quarterback Emory Jones, ranked as the fourth-best player in Georgia by ESPN, tossed just three...
Donnie Jones Puts On A Show Before Punting
If you haven’t noticed by the ice forming in your water glasses, it’s very cold up north and out east today, and it’s messing with at least a few NFL players. One of them was Eagles punter Donnie Jones, who went out to punt while still wearing his warm-ups, then had to treat fans to a little show....

The Cowboys had more rushing and passing yards than the Seahawks. It didn’t matter....
Jerry Jones Wishes There Were More People Like Jerry Richardson In The NFL
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked to comment on the reports of sexual misconduct and racism that led to Panthers owner Jerry Richardson putting his team up for sale yesterday.

Julio Jones Is Incredible, Even On Defense
Julio Jones is easily one of the best receivers in the NFL (I’d say the best but then someone would rightfully point out Antonio Brown exists and then we’d have a long fruitless debate about it), but in Thursday’s game, Jones found himself on the other side of the ball. After Saints cornerback Marsh...
Report: Roger Goodell Has Signed A New Contract
In a “nearly unanimous” decision that almost certainly does not include one flamboyantly rich guy in Texas, commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL owners have signed a new contract extension, according to ProFootballTalk....
Mohamed Sanu Throws 50-Yard TD Strike To Julio Jones
Third-and-one in the first half isn’t usually the time to reach deep into the bag of tricks, but the Atlanta Falcons clearly trust wideout Mohamed Sanu to get them all the yards they need, and then some. With the ball at midfield, they had Sanu take a shotgun snap and fire a pass deep down the field...

Jerry Jones Won't Sue The NFL, Still Won't Shut Up About Roger Goodell's Contract
Another thrilling update in this saga of powerful old football men sending mean letters back and forth!

Report: Jerry Jones Wants Secret Ballot Vote But Everyone Wants Him To Shut Up And Stop
Jerry Jones is fond of the secret ballot as an instrument of dealmaking, and today, he’s reportedly introduced it as the latest weapon in his siege against Roger Goodell and other NFL owners.

Again, there are many, many delicious morsels to chew on in Don Van Natta’s and Seth Wickersham’s latest smorgasbord of NFL insider delights for ESPN The Magazine.

Here's Video Of A Seemingly Drunk-Off-His-Ass Jerry Jones Making A Bad Joke
Something called The Blast has acquired an old video that shows Cowboys owner Jerry Jones making a groan-worthy joke to a fan who had stopped him at a Dallas hotel and asked the nutty old coot—whose beet-red face and unsteady speech suggest things about his level of inebriation—to wish his new wife ...
The Case Against Roger Goodell
I know I sound like a broken record when I urge you to go read Don Van Natta Jr.’s and Seth Wickersham’s latest piece of thoroughly reported NFL kremlinology for ESPN, but: Go read it. All of it. There are a dozen different items and themes that warrant highlighting, and a few of them are going to g...
